When a new lead enters HubSpot and nobody logs a follow-up within 48 hours, Make automatically sends a Slack message to the responsible rep with the lead's name and contact details. Reps no longer have to manually scan their pipeline for stale contacts—the alert comes to them. You can customize the delay to match your sales cycle.

Step 1: In HubSpot, create a workflow that flags contacts with no activity note or call logged within 48 hours of creation.
Step 2: Set up a Make scenario that polls the HubSpot workflow enrollment list every hour.
Step 3: For each flagged contact, Make posts a Slack message to the rep's direct message channel with name, phone, and deal stage.
Step 4: Add a 'Snoozed' property in HubSpot so reps can pause alerts for 24 hours after they've followed up.

See PlansHubSpot gives your business one place to manage marketing, sales, and customer service — instead of juggling five or six different apps. You get a free CRM (customer relationship manager) that tracks every contact, email, and deal in one view. Over 278,000 companies already use it, from solo founders to mid-size teams. The free plan is genuinely useful. You get contact management, email marketing (up to 2,000 emails per month), live chat, basic bots, forms, and reporting dashboards — no credit card required. When you're ready for more, the Starter plan begins at $9 per month per seat, which adds automation and removes HubSpot branding. Here's the catch: the jump from Starter to Professional is steep. Pro starts at $800 per month plus a mandatory $3,000 onboarding fee. That's a big leap for a small team. But if you're growing fast and need advanced workflows, lead scoring, and social media tools, it can replace three or four separate subscriptions and actually save you money.
Slack replaces your company's internal email with organized group chats called channels. You create a channel for each project, team, or topic — so conversations stay focused and easy to find. Your team can also share files, hop on quick audio calls (called Huddles), and connect with outside partners through Slack Connect. For a small business, Slack keeps everyone on the same page without the clutter of long email threads. Built-in tools like Canvas (shared documents), Lists (simple task tracking), and Workflow Builder (no-code automation) mean you can manage lightweight projects without paying for extra apps. And with 2,600+ integrations, Slack connects to nearly every tool your business already uses. Slack now includes AI features on every plan — even the free one. The AI can summarize channels you missed, draft messages, answer questions about your company's conversations, and recap your day. It's like having an assistant that reads every message so you don't have to.
